Any way to save the child?

[Malitias]

The small child in the lizard village. Is there any way to actually save him? I've tried to cast protection from-/resist energy, so he survives the lightning, but the exact second the floating skull dies, the child does as well? I'm not even sure if that's intended..

You have to solve the lizardman problems because the monster feeds on fear so it sorta makes sense that he'll be weak if everythings hunky-dory in Liztropolis.

Did you try to hit it with glitterdust in the first dialogue when you are alone in the tent with the child? Not by selecting the spell outside of dialogue, but in the dialogue (could require successfull arcana check as prereq), as a dialogue option.

I didn't have the option to do so, and I no longer have a save that gives me the possibility to be alone with the child (that sounds creepy O.o).

For me the kid got hit by lightning but did revive (or survive, not sure) and I could complete the quest accordingly, no idea why he made it though.

you can sacrifice the lizard elder to the monster, and the kid goes free.
you can bring the lizard elder and if you convinced the king hes failed, you all attack the monster, and the kid lives.
you can help the three semi-friendly lizards in the village, thus denying the monster negative energy, glitterdust it then attack, and the kid goes free.
you can convince the king he's a total failure, he'll attack the monster if you glitter dust it, kid goes free(no need to help the other lizards)

I passed the arc check but didnt give me the option to use the spell :C I tried with jjjust having a scroll in my inventory, having someone who can cast it and running around the room spamming it, nothing worked :C

Casting it in the room doesn't work, has to be a dialogue option. I know it works with a memorized spell (not enough to have it in the spell book, memorized). I used octavias spell recall ability to add it without actually resting (should only work with used spells, but you can also set a spell up to be memorized at rest then "recall" it).

I know it doesn't work with the glitterdust supernatural ability some aasimar get. It probably won't work with a scroll.

None of these work, except for sacrificing the rattler. I guess it's just bugged.

yes like i said the king dies but the old lizard will revive the kid during the fight,

first - the old lizard throws glitters to reveal the wisp

2nd - the wisp will shot thunder in the path where both the kid and king are standing and both will die

3rd - the kid will be revive but will be vulnerable to any hostile attacks

4th - rush the wisp to death while shielding the kid with whatever armor or spam heal u can throw to the kid, buy scrolls.

I wish there was a way to save the king. I wish they would let you res NPC's lol I know theres a few enemys I would like to res just so I can kill again but gental Lizard Kings and sweet, friendly kobolds dont deserve perma death

don't ask the wisp why it needed the kid, b/c as soon as he spawns the kid dies. in my scenario the the kid runs away adjacent to the king then fell down with blood after it got strucked by lightning then the old lizard revived him during the fight and he got up.

i used bear endurance and mage armor to the kid befor i called the old lizard outside the camp.

[Ariochaotik]

I reloaded and did this fight 3 or 4 times before i was able to save the kid.

tell the wisp that you will trade for rattler, when you come back rattler plus the king and a couple of guards will be there

During the fight, the kid will die. At the end one of the lizards will channel a heal and it will revive the kid.

at least that is how it went for me.

I did not cast glitterdust, rattler did that.

[[GRVTS]Fat Bastard]

Do everything in the lizardman village, succeed in all checks in the conversation with the wisp and heal the kid DURING the fight. That's what I did.

[Malitias]

Actually I managed to save the kid now. I went back to the capital, spoke with his mother, unlocked the option to comfort him and then he doesn't die, again for no appearent reason.
I don't have a problem with having to talk to a bunch of ppl, but the way the game communicates with your, or rather doesn't, during this quest is just frustrating AF. Some message about "the wisp was too strong and took child with him" would have been nice, instead of him just collapsing when the wisp dies.

[Lightning]

When I did this just now I'm guessing they modified this quest somehow but the kid runs to the corner rather than stands still taking a lightning bolt I guess before the skull casts it, but just wondering if its possible to save both the lizard king and the kid somehow?

[Lightning]

Oh wow nvm, I actually did that arcana check and the skull was locked on my main char so I placed her away from the child in the middle and the kid lived somehow last time I tried this he just flopped so not sure why it worked the 2nd time

Doh but the lizard king still gets mad at you for doing this outside and still fights you to the death, also if you fight the king outside guess you only get a key instead of the loot as well

[La quiche]

Actually, the things are much more simple. The child runs to an edge of the room, just buff him.
Don't know which spell saved him, I used protect from lightning, protect from evil, barkskin, bear's endurance, and invisibility

[LArc7thHeaven]

i thought you suppose to talk to the banished lizard outside and then the quest carries as the banished lizard is kinda shaman and shows the skull to the lizard ppl, the lizard king dies and you can gangbang the ghost
